Ads will now be featured in between Instagram stories

Instagram itself comprises of around 70 percent organizations, who take up around one-third of the Stories feature ever since its launch. So one can envision, how imperative advertisements will be for those businesses when they feature in the middle of stories too.

Likewise, the advertisements will get advantage from Facebook’s measurement instruments and get profitable data like user demographics. This element in mix with Facebook’s measurement apparatuses will have the capacity to give brands a much detailed picture of organizations around the globe – something Snapchat is in need of.
